Mina and Karen are taking on a special project in season 1 episode 7 of Good Bones. The mother-daughter duo decide to flip a house that has emotional significance for Karen's father, Roger. Roger grew up in the home and it has been in his family for generations, but it has fallen into disrepair.
Mina and Karen start by tackling the exterior of the house. They want to give it some curb appeal and make it look more modern. They remove the old siding and replace it with fresh, bright white siding and black shutters. They also add a new front porch and repaint the front door a bold blue color.
Once the outside is spruced up, it's time to tackle the inside. Mina and Karen are surprised by how outdated the interior is. The home feels cramped and has a lot of small rooms that don't flow well. They decide to take down some of the walls to create a more open concept feel. They also add new hardwood floors throughout the main living area.
Karen is particularly excited to work on the kitchen. She wants to create a space that is not only functional but also beautiful. They decide to add a large island with seating, new countertops, and a backsplash that features a unique hexagon pattern. They also replace the old cabinets with modern white ones.
Another feature that Karen is thrilled to work on is the fireplace. It is currently made of brick and doesn't match the feel of the updated home. They decide to give it a facelift by adding a white wood mantel and modern grey tile around the fireplace.
Throughout the renovation, Mina and Karen are mindful of keeping some of the elements that are important to Roger. They keep a built-in bookshelf in the living room and add glass doors to showcase some of the family's heirlooms.
One of the biggest challenges of the project is creating a complete renovation while staying within the budget. Mina and Karen get creative by mixing some inexpensive design elements with high-end touches. The end result is a stunning home that is not only beautiful but also functional and comfortable.
The reveal to Roger is an emotional moment for the family. He is brought to tears when he sees how the home has been transformed and updated while still keeping its original charm. He is thrilled with the finished product and grateful to Mina and Karen for taking on such a special project.
Overall, season 1 episode 7 of Good Bones showcases Mina and Karen's talent for turning outdated and run-down homes into stunning masterpieces. They also demonstrate their ability to stay within a budget while still incorporating high-end design elements. The episode is a heartwarming story of family and the power of a great renovation.
